Armona Island is in the heart of the Algarve. This barrier island is car free, with a scattering of holiday cottages and just enough bars and restaurants to enjoy the local Portuguese lifestyle. Armona is also part National Park, a pristine natural environment, with over 9 kilometres of beach.
Nearby Olhao (10 minutes by Ferry) has more restaurants and clubs, a lovely marina, and a 'must see' local market on the waterfront. The Algarve is famous for watersports including swimming, waterskiing, snorklling, sailing, and generally 'messing around in boats'. The Olhao ferry terminal connects to the other local islands as well as Armona, or for a few euros more splash out on a Water Taxi.
Surrounding Olhao and Faro are numerous golf courses, and for those who can prise themselves away from Armona the whole Algarve is there to be explored.
